Warrior Obama’s decision to withhold the pictures of Osama bin Laden’s dead body has created a schism between the White House and one of the largest journalism organizations in the world: the Associated Press.

Last Monday, the AP filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the photographic and video evidence taken during the raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The organization’s FOIA request included a reminder of the president’s campaign pledge and a plea to be more transparent than his predecessor. “The Obama White House ‘pledged to be the most transparent government in U.S. history,” wrote the AP, “and to comply much more closely with the Freedom of Information Act than the Bush administration did.'”

Some of them include: Sens. Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, Rep. Peter King, the Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and the NYFD Union. I am also on record saying the release of the photos will help put to rest some of the more incredulous conspiracy theories surrounding Osama bin Laden’s death.

The conspiracy theories are coming fast and furious and it’s Obama fault for allowing this thing to get out of control.

His parochial approach to leadership is offensive to me. I’ve contributed to the $3 trillion we were forced to spend to kill Bin Laden. At very least I want to enjoy the images of his head shattered open like a bloody watermelon. You know, Americans have gotten soft around the middle. Bin Laden is responsible for the deaths of nearly 3,000 innocent people on 9/11. It’s OK to gloat a little.

By playing God with the photos of Osama’s corpse, President Obama gave a pass to the real kooks like Fox Business News host Andrew Napolitano who allegedly said on TV that the White House is “pulling a fast one to save Obama’s lousy presidency.”

And for what reason, incite more violence and put more Americans in harms way? Release the dna information, and facial recongnition results instead, photos can be doctored but science is “unrefutiateable”. There are more pressing conspiracy theories that somehow get a free pass in the msn.

And for what reason, incite more violence and put more Americans in harms way?

If you’re so worried about Americans in harms way, try pressuring the nitwit in the White House to listen to the Iraqis and the Afghans who overwhelmingly don’t want U.S. troops in their countries and redeploy the troops out of where they’re not welcome.
